Arrest Warrants for Honduran Ex-President Dropped
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/03/25/world/americas/AP-LT-Honduras-Ex-President.html?hp

A judge has dismissed three arrest warrants for former President Manuel Zelaya, allowing him to return without detention to the country where he was deposed in June 2009.

Supreme Court Justice Oscar Chincilla says Zelaya still faces corruption charges related to his forced exile after ignoring court orders to drop a referendum on changing the constitution.

Zelaya attorney Anahim Orrellana said Friday his client can return safely from the Dominican Republic, where he now lives. But he said Zelaya also wants the court to drop the pending charges, which Zelaya calls politically motivated.
